Tombstone Tuesday- Ancient Burial Ground, Essex

The Ancient Burial Ground in Essex, Massachusetts. We were searching for Allens buried there, and then in the Spring Street Cemetery around the corner. The first Allens lived in Manchester-by-the-sea and removed to Essex sometime before the American Revolution.

The Allen Family Plot, but most were illegible, broken or fallen into the soil. We didn't disturb them, but it might be worthwhile coming back to dig in the ground a bit, or to clean off some moss and lichen.

Thank you Heather. I wanted to say I enjoy your blog. I stumbled upon it looking for the family of James McGregore Livingstone's/stons/etc who were in NH at one point in the early-mid 1700's involved with the Presbyterian Church up in your area.....

Also interesting to see the name Gilman Allen as I am a gr gr grandson of Gilman Liberty Allen of Shrewsbury - 1817-1892
